Laced Up® Elderberry brings the ornamental elegance of deeply cut, lacy foliage to a tough and adaptable native shrub, creating feathery green texture that softens the landscape through the entire growing season. Flat-topped clusters of white flowers appear from spring into summer, attracting butterflies and pollinators, before giving way to dark berries that birds relish in fall. The vigorous, mounding habit fills large shrub borders and hedges with presence, while brilliant fall color — red-burgundy, gold, and copper — provides a striking seasonal finale. Deer and rabbit resistant, tolerant of Black Walnut root competition, and native to the Great Lakes region, it’s a beautiful and functional choice for naturalized plantings and wildlife gardens.
